Pros: This hotel has an amazing design esthetic and uses high end finishes and products on the property and in the hotel rooms.
The beds and linens were so incredibly comfortable I would have been happy hanging out in the room than braving the heat of a summer day in Austin.
The valet was great and very easy to use. When were ready to pick up our car we would just send a text and the car would be ready within minutes. We never had to wait which was really nice.
On the grounds of the hotel there were two restaurants, one of which served as room service, an excellent coffee shop and a few very nice boutiques.

Pros: They were supernice to my 4 year old daughter. They upgraded us to a suite because she wanted to take a bath in a bathtub and actually went to a store nearby to get her bubblebath shampoo without us requesting it: Speechless.

A magnet for music lovers and arty types, Austin's Hotel San José is a masterclass in stylish understatement with chilled-out charm on South Congress Avenue. This is a mellow hangout with retro bungalows and a leafy courtyard. You can borrow a bicycle, tinker on a typewriter or purloin a Polaroid – the extras here are a study in bohemia.

The history of the Austin Motel and the land on which it stands is not a story of corporate success with multi-million dollar profits, high end stocks, explosive growth into franchises, and financial wizards at the helm. It is nevertheless a success story. It is a success story of ordinary human beings—average everyday folk with normal ups and downs, hardships and joys, and persistence to endure. It is a very human old fashioned grass roots story of families—of love for the land and for the community. It is a story of a small unique little home grown business that has survived well through several generations and over 65 years of continuous operation while experiencing both hard times and joyful good times. It is a story of connection with other people and satisfaction for what has been accomplished from personal hard work, "hands on" attention, and love. Everyone who has owned this property has been personally involved with the work and vision of building and maintaining it. Families have been integral to its operation. It has always involved a direct inter-relationship with the local community.
